Having been raised in the LTZ (Low Technology Zone) Jack developed his talents for improvisation working alongside his parents, who would take thrown-away items headed for recycling and restore or refurbish them for resale. Jack started his programming education by reprogramming the broken toys he found to amuse himself and annoy his parents.

When his educators could no longer keep challenging him, Jack was sent to Olympus to be tested. Once his high IQ and talent for programming came to light, he was offered a place in the best tech academy in the Citadel.
